Two years as in-house counsel for a national insurance company taught Marc Bleaman exactly how carriers value — and undervalue — a claim. He has spent the three decades since on the other side of that table, and his peers have rated him AV Preeminent for it.

From Insurance Company Counsel to Plaintiffs’ Trial Lawyer
Marc Bleaman grew up in the New York City suburbs of New Jersey and studied political science and criminology at Rutgers University, graduating in 1991. He then moved to Tucson to attend the University of Arizona College of Law, working as a law clerk and focusing on trial work while a student. After graduating and being admitted to the Arizona bar in 1995, Bleaman’s early career took him to the insurance side of the courtroom: he handled insurance defense matters at large law firms and then spent two years as in-house counsel for a national insurance company before transitioning permanently to plaintiff-side injury work.
That background is the throughline of the firm’s own pitch to prospective clients — direct, inside knowledge of how insurance carriers and defense teams evaluate, negotiate, and sometimes minimize a claim, now deployed on behalf of the people filing them. Bleaman tried his first civil jury trial within three years of passing the bar and has continued to litigate cases through trial in the decades since, founding Bleaman Law Firm, P.C. in 2003.
A Plaintiff-Only Practice, By Design
The firm describes itself as representing exclusively injury victims — never insurers or corporations — across motor vehicle collisions (car, motorcycle, truck, and rideshare accidents), premises liability matters including slip-and-falls and dog bites, nursing home abuse and neglect, and catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims. The firm’s own materials are explicit that clients undervalue their own claims more often than not, and that the value of experienced counsel lies partly in recognizing the full scope of compensation — medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress — that an unrepresented claimant is likely to leave on the table.
The firm’s Tucson office sits in a small professional building on North Campbell Avenue that also houses at least one other independent Tucson injury practice profiled elsewhere in this series; the two operate under separate names, phone numbers, and ownership, sharing only the building.
The Results Board
Bleaman Law Firm’s public materials do not publish an itemized table of settlement or verdict dollar figures, and Awesome Attorneys did not locate one through independent research. The firm’s own positioning rests instead on Marc Bleaman’s peer recognition and insurance-industry background rather than a published results ledger. This profile does not supply figures the firm has not published.
Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.
What Clients Report
Client feedback compiled across Avvo and TrustAnalytica is consistently positive and repeatedly emphasizes two things: communication and negotiation outcomes that exceeded expectations. Reviewers describe Bleaman and his team as approachable and thorough, with several specifically crediting the firm’s negotiating skill for a larger recovery than they had anticipated going in.
“They were more than fair on pricing and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an injury lawyer.”
— Client review, published via Avvo
A separate, independently sourced review, from an attorney who has referred cases to the firm, adds a peer perspective to the client testimonials: “Marc and his team are knowledgeable, hard working and caring and do a great job,” a colleague wrote of using Bleaman as associate counsel on an Arizona matter.
Trial Advocacy, Off the Clock
Bleaman’s most substantive activity beyond his own caseload runs through the American Board of Trial Advocates, an invitation-only national association limited to experienced trial lawyers, where he has served as president of the Southern Arizona chapter. Awesome Attorneys did not locate additional independently reported civic board memberships or pro bono recognitions for Bleaman beyond his ABOTA leadership role.
Peer Standing
Bleaman holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell — the rating service’s highest tier, based on peer review of legal ability and ethical standards — awarded in 2013, 2019, and 2025, and carries a 10.0 Superb rating on Avvo. Awesome Attorneys did not locate Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, or State Bar Board of Legal Specialization recognition for Bleaman, and this profile does not use the word “specialist” to describe him on that basis; his ABOTA membership and repeat AV rating stand on their own as the firm’s strongest independently verifiable credentials.
The Arizona Backdrop, in Plain English
Readers weighing a Tucson-area injury claim should understand a few baseline Arizona rules, several of which bear directly on the fact pattern Bleaman’s practice handles most often. What follows is general information, not legal advice.
The two-year clock. Arizona’s statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims is generally two years (A.R.S. § 12-542).
Fault is shared, not all-or-nothing. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505): a claimant’s recovery is reduced by their share of fault but not eliminated entirely — relevant to any disputed-liability auto or premises case.
Suing the government is faster and stricter. Claims against a public entity require a formal notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01) and suit within one year (A.R.S. § 12-821).
Minors get more time. Arizona law generally tolls the limitations period for a minor until they turn 18, giving them until their 20th birthday to bring a personal injury claim in most circumstances (A.R.S. § 12-502).
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Bleaman Law Firm’s strongest asset is the credibility of Marc Bleaman’s own background: two years as in-house counsel for a national insurer, decades of AV-rated trial practice, and a leadership post inside ABOTA, one of the more selective trial-lawyer organizations in the country. That combination of insurance-side fluency and peer-verified trial standing is a genuinely strong pitch for a plaintiff weighing a disputed or lowball claim.
The honest gap is the same one that runs through several small, solo-driven practices in this series: no published settlement table, a limited public review count (albeit uniformly positive), and no independent media coverage of specific case outcomes to check the firm’s claims against. A prospective client with a high-value or catastrophic claim should ask directly about the firm’s recent trial and settlement results in that specific injury category. For a Tucson-area claimant who values a lawyer who has literally sat on the insurance company’s side of the table, Bleaman is a credible, well-regarded choice.
